FATE: Target of Grand Master

As they drew closer to the temple in the southwest, the earth-shaking sensations became increasingly clear, and even the air seemed to ripple with the temple's magical power.

"This is the rhythm of the dance of destruction," Morgan confirmed.

Xia Yan frowned deeply. Had Feng Yan and his team failed?

When Xia Yan arrived at the temple, the scene before him shocked him greatly.

The scene of seven Servants—Ibuki, Musashi, Cú Chulainn Alter, Jaguar Man, Gina, Diarmuid, and Blackbeard—suppressing Durga alone did not occur. Instead, Kali, who had already transformed, used her Noble Phantasm to suppress the seven Servants while performing the Dance of Annihilation.

"Feng Yan, how could this happen?"

Upon seeing Xia Yan arrive, Feng Yan was initially delighted, as this meant that Tiamat had been eliminated.

Due to the magical ripples of the Dance of Annihilation, Feng Yan was completely unaware that Tiamat's spirit origin reaction had disappeared, nor could he hear the reverberation caused by the explosion of her spirit origin.

But soon, Feng Yan's expression turned serious again.

"When we arrived, Durga had already transformed into Kali and was performing the 'Dance of Annihilation.' Although the Servants immediately launched an attack, the magical barrier inherent in the 'Dance of Annihilation' was extremely strong. Even with all seven Servants unleashing their Noble Phantasms, they still couldn't penetrate it. Kali was able to continue fighting while dancing. With the seven Servants having very little magical energy left, Kali was able to suppress them simply by manipulating the divinely bestowed weapon within her Noble Phantasm."

Xia Yan was quite surprised by Feng Yan's description. After all, in terms of pure combat power, even if there were no Servants on Feng Yan's side with completely equal strength, the gap between Ibuki, Musashi, and Cú Chulainn Alter and Kali would not be too large, not to mention the assistance of the leopard man and three other Servants.

According to Xia Yan's estimation, even if he couldn't suppress Jiali, he could probably still keep her from dancing by engaging her in a fierce battle.

But then he thought again, battles are not games, not simply a matter of stacking numbers. Legend has it that when Kali began to dance the dance of destruction, all the Hindu gods were helpless. Only by asking her husband, Shiva, one of the three Hindu gods, to lie at her feet could she stop her.

What they are now facing is the embodiment of mythology.

"The Noble Phantasm attacks from the seven Servants just now have already made the magic barrier teeter on the brink of collapse. If we add just one more Servant's attack, we'll definitely be able to destroy it."

Feng Yan pinned his hopes on Morgan and Ishtar, who were brought by Xia Yan.

"Morgan has exhausted his mana in the battle to defeat Tiamat. Ishtar, could you please use your Noble Phantasm one more time?"

Ishtar understood that this was a critical moment concerning the fate of the entire world, and nodded in agreement.

Feng Yan immediately spoke up: "Everyone, Xia Yan is here! No need to hold back anymore, launch a full-scale attack on the barrier!"

"good!"

The Servants, who had initially felt suppressed by the divinely bestowed weapons, immediately unleashed a fighting power far exceeding what they had shown in previous battles.

It turns out they were all deliberately conserving their magic power. After all, they already knew they couldn't break through the barrier on their own, so they might as well save their magic power and unleash it when Xia Yan arrived with reinforcements. This would also lull Jiali into a false sense of security and prevent her from further increasing the defense of the magic barrier.

However, there is a crucial point in this plan: Xia Yan must defeat Tiamat and arrive here before Jiali finishes her "Dance of Annihilation," otherwise everyone will have to accept the fate of world destruction.

When Feng Yan proposed this plan after the first concentrated attack by the followers failed, he knew he was taking a gamble, but he didn't expect that no one present would object.

It's understandable that his own Servants are used to his commands, and Xia Yan's three Servants have no objections, which only shows that they not only trust his judgment, but also believe that Xia Yan can definitely do it. What a deep level of trust that is!

Ibuki infused her magic into the Kusanagi sword, then unleashed a massive sword beam that deflected the divinely granted weapon that was entangled with the group. Taking advantage of this opening, the eight Servants present, including Ishtar, simultaneously released their Noble Phantasms.

"Noble Phantasm!"

"The mountain range is a star-studded source of inspiration!"

"The Divine Sword: Kusanagi's Greatsword!"

"The Six Realms and Five Wheels: The Celestial Phenomenon of Kurikara!"

"The Beast That Devours Death Fangs!"

"There is no escape from the death claws!"

"The raging waves!"

"Queen Anne's Revenge!"

"Meatball, let's start working on it tomorrow!"

The magical power unleashed by the eight treasures caused chaos in the surrounding airflow, forcing Xia Yan and Feng Yan to shield their eyes with their hands and observe through their fingers.

Click!

Whether it was melee attacks or ranged beam attacks, all the attacks converged on the same spot of the magic barrier. Even the most solid magic barrier could not withstand such a fierce attack, and a crack appeared.

Click! Click! Click!

The cracks began to widen and then gradually expanded outwards, like a powerful empire constantly expanding its territory until the entire barrier was covered with cracks.

"Smash it!"

Having been holding back her anger for a long time, Ibuki manipulated the Kusanagi sword to stab at the spot on the magic barrier that was being attacked by the Noble Phantasms.

Clang!

The entire magic barrier shattered instantly and then dissipated into the air.

For the first time, a look of astonishment appeared on Karina's face, which had been contorted by the "Dance of Annihilation."

"Keep attacking! We can't let her build a second magical barrier!"

Xia Yan's voice rang out, but only four Servants responded to his command: Ishtar, Ibuki, Musashi, and the Jaguar Man.

It wasn't that the other Servants didn't want to respond; it was simply that their mana was exhausted. At this moment, just maintaining their stance was a tremendous effort. The other four Servants, except for Musashi, were all God-level Servants with very high Spirit Origin levels. Although Musashi and Ibuki had also unleashed their Noble Phantasms multiple times, their mana was replenished by Command Seals, which is why they could still move while Cú Chulainn Alter was already exhausted.

"Now it's Kali's turn to be in a dilemma," Feng Yan said with satisfaction. "Should she continue dancing the 'Dance of Annihilation' but be attacked by multiple Servants, or stop dancing to ensure her Spirit Origin is not injured? Goddess, you should think it over carefully."

However, to Feng Yan's surprise, Jiali didn't hesitate for even a second and continued jumping, her movements even faster than before.

"Kali is a goddess who represents Durga's wrath, which is even more severe than Parvati's. This time, she has taken the destruction of the world as her mission. Now that the 'Dance of Annihilation' has reached this point, Kali will absolutely not give up."

Xia Yan saw through Kali's thoughts, and what was even more disadvantageous for them was that the four Servants who were still able to move had very little magic power left, and their attacks were much weaker than when they were at their peak. Kali could block their attacks by controlling the divinely bestowed weapon.

"Master, now we can only try the method I told you about before."

Just then, Gina's voice reached Feng Yan's ears.
